WIRED LOVE: A ROMANCE OF DOTS AND DASHES.....
A telegraph operator meets a mysterious stranger 'on the wire'. Throw in the most clumsy gent in literature, a stern matron, an actress with a mysterious past and a whole lot of Charlotte Russes and bear grease, and you have a most romantic of comedies.
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY.....
Ella Cheever Thayer (September 14, 1849 – October 28, 1925) was an American playwright and novelist. Born in Maine, she worked as a telegraph operator and published several works in her lifetime, including the hit 1879 novel Wired Love: A Romance in Dots and Dashes.
She was the daughter of apothecary George Augusta Thayer (1824-1863) and Rachel Ella Cheever Thayer (1823-1907). One sister, Mary Georgie Thayer (1869-1912), was a schoolteacher. Thayer eventually became a telegraph operator at the Brunswick Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts, who used her experience on the telegraph as the basis for her book Wired Love, A Romance of Dots and Dashes, which became a bestseller for ten years.
She was also a playwright, having written The Lords of Creation in 1883. Her play is reviewed in the book On to Victory: Propaganda Plays of the Woman's Suffrage Movement by Bettina Friedl, published in 1990 and it was one of the first suffragette plays. She also wrote Amber, a Daughter of Bohemia, a drama in five acts, in 1883. She also wrote short stories for magazines including "The Forgotten Past" in Argosy (January 1897).
